The project is focused on assessing the relationship between poverty and disaster risk by collecting household information on exposure to flood risk combined with estimates of household expenditure. By using a city-wide representative sample of Dar es Salaam which is over-sampled in areas exposed to flood risk, this study will provide policy relevant information on the impact of floods on households and its relation to poverty on a city level. The study is a component of the Tanzanian Urban Resilience Program to inform investments and activities of the program.

The objective of this assignment is to pilot a firm-level supply chain resilience survey in Tanzania to get a better understanding of the economic impact of transport infrastructure disruptions – primarily due to natural disasters. The data collected will directly inform the currently on-going Tanzania Transport Risk Analysis being undertaken by Oxford Analytics, funded by the Corridors for Growth Multi-donor Trust Fund, administered by the World Bank, with the support of UK Aid.

Due to our continued growth in 2016 and 2017, we are extremely excited to open our first office in East Africa, Tanzania as of November 2017.

The results of the assessment will help in (a) understanding the degree to which the planned interventions of Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPRC) projects enhance household climate resilience in the communities vulnerable to climate risks; and (b) exploring methodologies to quantitatively measure household climate resilience, which can be used to inform a better design of future PPCR and other projects.

The objective of the post-monitoring is twofold: To obtain detailed, specific and representative information regarding the project implementation allowing a possible re-orientation of the project’s approach and to provide more specific data to enrich the actual M&E-system.

Armenia’s forests make up less than 10% of its total land area, and have declined by over 10% since 1993. Despite its limited and diminishing land area, Armenia’s forests provide important services for the local population and for the national economy.
